How To Actually Learn Your Gel Plate (This Exercise Changed Everything)

Gel Plate Tips If you've ever felt like your gel plate has a mind of its own, this video is for you. I'll walk you through a foundational color mixing exercise that helped me understand exactly how my plate works - and it'll do the same for you. You'll see how to take a single color through a full range of values, how to read what your brayer pressure is doing, and why every single print you pull is worth keeping. Works for any level - beginner to experienced.
